Nail Art: Part 3

Continuing in my ‘nail art’ lessons, I purchased from Barry M some ‘nail crackle’ in the colour ‘black magic’.Instant Nail Effects is a simple to use nail paint that creates this amazing effect on your nails in one simple stroke.

You can achieve this amazing effect in 5 simple steps:

Apply a clear base coat

Apply your chosen colour

Apply the Instant Nail Effect

Watch while it develops

Apply a top coat

I decided to use a bronze colour so I had an almost leopard print effect.I also found that without the top coat, the Instant Nail effect is a bit dull so by adding a top coat it gave it more of a glossy finish.

Barry M have a tutorial online so you can see for yourself how it works:

I absolutely love my nail crackle and can’t wait to try and out the black magic with other colour varieties and also try out some of the other crackle shades.It is a really great way to get ‘wow’ nails pretty quickly and without visiting a nail bar.One of my friends actually thought I had had my nails professionally done!

I will be sure to keep you updated on how I get on with other colours!

About Us

Two beauty novices with an unhealthy interest in beauty, fashion, shopping and the Spice Girls.
We are not professional make-up artists and have never stepped inside a beauty school. However, our love for dressing-up has remained with us since we were little girls. After meeting at college then going to university and spending many evenings and afternoons getting ready for nights out, we decided to set-up this ‘Beauty School’ for those who, like us, like to ‘Tryout’ and play. We road test the good, the bad and the brilliant from the beauty industry. We discuss our heroes, or heroines and our ‘How To’ do the latest looks, trends and techniques. You don’t have to be a professional to apply great make-up! You just need someone to show you how and a little bit of practice.
